Outcome: WA10.2 Analyze puzzles and games that involve spatial reasoning using problem solving strategies. [C, CN, PS, R]
(It is intended that this outcome be integrated throughout the course by using sliding, rotation, construction, deconstruction, and puzzles and games such as Tetris, Rubik’s cube, Blokus, chess, checkers, Backgammon, Mastermind, Tic-Tac-Toe, Connect Four or Five, Battleship, and Cathedral World).
Determine, explain, and verify strategies to solve a puzzle or to win a game such as:
guess and check
look for a pattern
make a systematic list
draw or model
eliminate possibilities
solve a simpler problem
work backwards
develop alternative approaches.
Observe and analyze errors in a solution to a puzzle or in a strategy for winning a game and explain the reasoning.
Create a variation on a puzzle or a game, and describe a strategy for solving the puzzle or winning the game.
